For the course that I'm writing, I like the Rise Horizon Theme. Unfortunately, it seems to present an asterisk (*) above the title of my course, which feels both unprofessional and not a value add. Is there a way to get rid of it?
I've put a yellow square around it on the attached image.
I've had to shy away from that theme too because the asterisk didn't fit with the client's brand. It would be great if this was something that we could remove.
I dare say you could get rid of it by tweaking the css if you're that way inclined.
Yes, please remove the * from the theme. Thats the first thing my stakeholders comment on, and they hate it. It feels like it shouldn't be there, and the other themes don't fit our needs in regard to the look and feel of the left side menu.
Echoing the sentiment. I'm having to re-do theme formatting because of this unnecessary asterisk - my client does not want that one thing, but wants everything else. So I have to just use another theme and ensure that it is identical to Horizon, except for that ridiculous asterisk. You'd think after paying top dollar for this service you'd at least be able to do this.
Here's a quick video showing how you can hide or change that dang asterisk. Use a unicode symbol from this list of symbols https://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTips/unicode-symbols.html or your favorite emoji, or even your own image.
Also mentioned is the wrapper class you can find in the code of the Horizon theme: imaginative
As we explore the ancient mysteries of the Rise design system, I've found these wrapper classes are used for each theme, hidden deep in the code. Are they remnants of a forgotten marketing idea, or hidden gems meant to inspire us?

Hi Emily,
The asterisk cannot be removed.

I would like to use this theme but this asterisk is a distraction for me, and I don't understand why it is there in the first place :)
